US Imposes Sanctions on Myanmar Military Commander Over Rohingya Abuses

Reuters

   WASHINGTON - The United States on Tuesday announced sanctions on the
   Myanmar military's Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing and other
   military leaders over extrajudicial killings of Rohingya Muslims,
   barring them from entry to the United States.

   The steps, which also covered Min Aung Hlaing's deputy, Soe Win, and
   two other senior commanders and their families, are the strongest the
   United States has taken in response to massacres of minority Rohingyas
   in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
